GMR goes from strength to strength
BBC
GMR today (30 January 2003) celebrated as the latest official RAJAR
(Radio Joint Audience Research) figures were announced.
The
station has increased its listeners by 30,000 in three months and
has also seen its audience share rise from 5.9% to 7% on last year.
BBC
GMR Managing Editor Steve Taylor is delighted with the increased
number of regular listeners: "We are very pleased to see that
our audience continues to grow. We have made a lot of changes over
the last 18 months and clearly more people like what we are doing."
Andy
Griffee, BBC Controller, English Regions, adds: "BBC Local
Radio goes from strength to strength. I'm delighted that in an increasingly
competitive market, it has again more than held its own.
"Our
local radio services are a precious part of how we connect with
the communities we serve. We'll forge ahead with plans to maintain
and build on this vote of confidence and I congratulate the talented
and committed people who run BBC Local Radio."
